Hanke16 Inch Underseat Carry On Suitcases with Wheels,Lightweight Hard Shell Carry on Luggage for Weekender,Top Opening Small Suitcase,Travel Luggage for Womem Men,Grey

I wanted to wait until we had a major trip before writing a review. We completed a 22-day trip overseas and this luggage handled spectacularly. Here is a breakdown of what we wanted, and how it performed:Hard shell that won't crack or dent- I literally tripped trying to get both mine and my wife's suitcases onto a shinkansen (bullet train) and drove my knee with 190 pounds behind it right into the the center of one suitcase. Nothing. No damage at all.Wheels that move and don't break- Japan has yellow raised textures on the sidewalks for the visually impaired throughout the cities, it can can play merry havoc with suitcase wheels. These wheels danced right over them and always stayed on track. On smooth surfaces the suitcases felt like they were floating. Side note: Put the suitcase on its side when on a train or hill, if you cannot hold on to it, the suitcase will take off on you!Zipper: So far, so good. Easy to use, didn't get stuck, and didn't come open.Lock and zipper pull-tabs: the built in lock is nice, but I know just how rough airlines are, almost all of my past suitcases have had zipper tabs ripped off. I used a suitcase cover to ensure these were protected. I wish the company had a little bump-out on either side of the zipper lock so that the zipper pulls would be better protected, but we had no issues.FRONT OPENING!!: This was a really big deal for us. We wanted hard shell, but I hate the clam-shell designs that are everywhere. Hanke got it! It worked perfectly. So happy with how this functioned. We had a Delsey, front opening suitcase, and the zipper really could not handle the corners, just not a good design. The zippers failed too quickly, which was a shame, because otherwise Delsey makes a good bag.Handle: So comfortable and easy to adjust. I like a recessed button so that I am not constantly changing the handle height accidentally (looking at you Samsonite).Size: We got the 26-inch and thought it was overkill, but we wanted a slightly larger checked bag because there is no option to expand this suitcase. We left for Japan with half-empty bags, and they were packed when we came home. It was relaxing not worrying about organizing and space for the return, we just shoved everything in, and still came in under weight. Again, it was a longer trip, and we picked up some nice ceramics on our travels (nothing broke on the way home, the hard-shell did its job!) but maybe a smaller one for week-long trips.Hard-shell and color: Let's face it, white is going to show everything, but I'd rather be able to pick my suitcase out at luggage return and the suitcase covers not only protected the zipper pulls, but kept the scuff marks off the luggage. The luggage was strong! Very strong.Overall: I have to say, with a few domestic trips, and its first international under its belt, these suitcases have proven to be the best we have had in ages. At this price-point, I have not had anything perform as well- and I have gone through a few! I have been so frustrated with wheels that don't track, handles that break, zippers that fail, or soft-shells that look like box cutters were taken to them during loading.Let's put it this way, even if the wheels had broken off, I would buy this suitcase again. We brutalized the luggage this trip, and it took it all. I fully expected something to break at some point, just the fact that it didn't has made me a fan.

I had been looking for a replacement to my disheveled 15 year old (and relatively heavy at 12 lbs) Briggs & Riley soft carryon and was really kicked about discovering this piece. Wanted to get a decent yet inexpensive hardcase but everything else looked either too flimsy, too heavy, not really 22x14x9 (this one is pretty close) or that awful clamshell design (which is why I had stuck to soft cases up until now). Not only was it quite light for its polycarbonate design (see pics), but it is super-sleek looking, moves like silk, really sturdy in feel and form and overall pretty spacious for its size. I haven't used it as a check-in yet, but it works really well in the overhead carryon bins - easy to lift and get in or out, and glides smoothly when getting in and out of the plane. It has two small pockets for wet & dry laundry and nothing superfluous. The two TSA latches work really well.I like this carryon and its overall design so much that I'm considering getting one of the larger check-ins next. I see that the carryon price has come down by a few bucks since I purchased it for 175, so I'd say this is a terrific bargain, well worth it, especially compared to the more expensive name-brand clamshells with unnecessary bells and whistles.Pros: everythingCons: nothing

I really like this suitcase, but within 7 months one of the zippers broke off and then a month later the second came off of one of the zipper lines. It is unusable. I reached out to the manufacturer to see if we could work something out, but no response. Therefore here is my review, unfortunately bad. Had the company responded I am sure this review would have been better. I refuse to replace suitcases once a year because of poor craftsmanship.

Overall, I am satisfied with this suitcase after 4 flights.The purchase experience was difficult - my order did not arrive on time, I received several different answers from several different reps about where it was, what happened to the shipment (with one even telling me it had been cancelled, and when I would receive it, none of which were correct. I felt that most of the reps were just telling me what they thought I wanted to hear rather than attempting to determine what actually was happening. I am very dissatisfied with Amazon customer support to say the least!With that said, the suitcase itself is very nice. The wheels are smooth, the suitcase is lightweight and easy to manage, and although it's not as deep as some other 24" rolling suitcases it holds quite a bit. The top-opening design is much easier to manage than the traditional clamshell design of most hardsided luggage.One significant omission is the lack of expansion. There is a middle joint around the circumference of the suitcase that could be used for this purpose, but it is a hard joint with no expandability at all. Adding this feature to a future version would make the suitcase just about perfect.I can't comment on the quality or ease of use of the locking mechanism because I just don't use it. It's not necessary, and I'd rather not give TSA an excuse to break my zipper pulls because they don't want to go in search of the appropriate "TSA compliant" key.Aside from the delivery and Amazon customer support issues, I am pleased with this purchase.

This luggage is so nice! Rolls amazing and the lid opening the way it does is perfect. We don’t like when they open in half and take up so much room. They nest nicely. Colours are pretty! Would highly recommend.

Der Koffer ist schön und stabil gebaut mit äußerst praktischen Öffnung und sehr guten Rollen ausgestattet. Bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Kauf. Wie sich der Koffer auf Reisen zeigt bleibt abzuwarten aber wie gesagt macht sehr qualitative Eindruck.

Very practical! So happy with it that I bought a second one!

カメラ機材の運搬ように購入しました片側開きなので機材の収納が楽です25kg入れて運搬したところ、非常にスムーズに動いてくれて驚いています非常に丈夫な作りで90kgの私が乗っても不安はありませんでしたこれで雨の日でも安心して運搬だ来そうです白を購入しましたが、アイボリー系の落ち着いた色で気に入ってます

I use the bundle method to pack (look it up) and with this deep suitcase I will make 2-3 bundles and get in a whole lot of clothing as it's much deeper than most carry on bags. I have 3 of these Hanke suitcases in different sizes. Love the dark green as it's easy to spot, looks very high end and has held up well.
